Abstract
In the title compound, C14H12O2, the benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 58.84 (12)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into chains along the b-axis direction by O—H...O hydrogen bonds. These chains are further linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the bc plane.
